The NFL has officially set this year’s cap at $188.2 millions, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. The league had projected a cap figure “in the range of $187.0 million to $191.1 million” late last year.

In 2018, NFL teams had $177.2 million at their disposal and this is the sixth straight year that the cap number has risen by at least $10 million. In all, the cap has risen over $68 million since it was set at $120 million for the 2011 season.

That flood of money has made for a flurry of deals in the early hours of free agency in recent years and Friday’s word of another big jump should lead to the same come March 13.

PFT

How much do we get?

So the lambs can reload another dream team.

They only have 22 mil available. Resigning some of the high priced window dressing will take a lot of that.

We have 9.1 available and with a few moves could keep everyone even Ingram. We could shore up DT, TE and QB in the draft. You know coach is going to trade up again, so say good bye to next years #1. I say it's either trade up for DT, QB or TE.

With one second round pick in the first 62 picks, and then no picks till 168th pick? Saints fans better temper their expectations...

Round 1: None (Traded/Marcus Davenport)
Round 2: New Orleans
Round 3: None (Traded/Teddy Bridgewater)
Round 4: None (Traded/Eli Apple)
Round 5: New Orleans
Round 6: N.Y. Jets pick (Teddy Bridgewater), New Orleans
Round 7: Cleveland pick (Devaroe Lawrence), New Orleans

We're drafting reserve defensive and offensive line depth, maybe some DB reserves for special teams...

Remind me again what pick Tom Brady, Pierre Thomas and Marques Colston were! https://ftw.usatoday.com/2018/04/201...n-kirk-cousins

How many elite quarterbacks have been taken after the third round since 1985?

Odds greatly diminish for the skill positions after the first 100 picks...

But I quietly share your optimism, enthusiasm...

This is all true.

If any team has the cap space to load up for a run, it's the Colts. They could do it and they have the luxury of an improved defense and a decent o-line. I look for them to be a potential dark horse candidate in the AFC. They could be a 12-4 type team next year.
